Hair Updo Experiment!

First of all, let me just say, I LOVE Pinterest! I have found so many amazing ideas that range from hair (as seen below) to crafts and cooking. Some of my favorite things!
I am always looking for neat ideas to put my long hair up out of my way. I came across this cute little blog on Pinterest that has tutorials on hair updos.

This is "The Messy Side Updo!" I love this updo because it is a messy updo! The longer the hair the more bobby pins you will need. I think I put at least 15 but I have very long hair.

Front.

Here is where you'll find awesome tutorials! Enjoy!

Halloween Teacher's Gift

I wanted to do something special for my 2nd grader's teachers this Halloween. I had extra cupcakes but no cupcake holders so I decided to make my own.

The finished product.
You'll need cupcakes, of course, and a cute Halloween bag!

Poster board paper of any color.

Cut and measure your poster board to fit the inside of the Halloween bag. I placed a piece of posterboard on the bottom of the bag and drew lines so I would know where to fold. Then cut sides, fold and tape. Finished product below. Cut X's large enough to hold cupcakes and place in the bottom of the bag.

Place your cupcakes in the bottom of the bag and fold the top down. Punch a hole in the center for a piece of ribbon or tulle.

The finished cupcake treat bag! Great teachers gift!

Halloween!

Wow! This month has sped by and I can't believe tomorrow is already Halloween.



Mason had his 2nd grade class party on Friday and requested Whoopie Pie cookies. The party was a huge success especially since the main treat was ice cream and lots of delicious toppings!





More Halloween treats! Mini Chocolate cupcakes with Buttercream icing! Yum!


Presentation is everything!
